Quality based measurement definition for new radio systems

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, storage media, and systems for quality-based measurements in new radio (NR). The measurements concern reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurements and pertinent received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements, and signal-to-noise and interference measurements of synchronization signal (SS-SINR) in NR. Various embodiments describe how to measure the pertinent power levels in time domain and frequency domain. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An apparatus of baseband circuitry of an access node (AN), comprising:
 means for generating a synchronization signal (SS) of a cell; 
 means for transmitting the SS of the cell to a user equipment (UE); 
 means for generating a message to indicate a configuration of a measurement window length; and 
 means for transmitting the message to indicate the configuration of the measurement window length to enable the UE is to measure a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) over a duration of the measurement window length, wherein the measurement window length indicates a measurement time for the UE to measure the RSSI including measurement of all orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols containing consecutive reference symbols located in a SS block of multiple SS blocks of a SS burst included in a slot in a downlink part of measurement subframes. 
 
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the means for transmitting the message is further to transmit the message via a radio resource control. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the SS of the cell includes more than one SS block to indicate reference signal information regarding the cell.
